Welcome to the Fête de L’Olivier in Ollioules

We arrived at the last day of the Feast of the Olive Tree in Ollioules in Provence, southern France. The occasion was our visit to Claudie and Pierre. They wanted to see Anna, as she was working when they did visit Norway during the OsloBG in August. We did not think twice – and went down south during Anna’s Autumn Vacation. Enjoy the Olive Tree Festival – click to enlargeMore than Olives to buy and see At the end we were served French Wines by immigrants from Sibiria;). And bought some bottles of excellent Bandol Wines.
I think we will be back next year, first weekend of October for the 2011 Fête de L’Olivier. You should come as well;)

More to come from our visit to our wonderful friends, Claudie and Pierre……

You captured the essence of this great event!!! Such a good time we had here! Imagine we just arrived at the end and it was still a such animation everywhere! Yesterday nicht I was with our siberian friends at theater! So funny it was on the stage! I don't tell you!The daughter of Svetlana will fly to Turkei next week! I should go and help the mother at the ceiling wine!!! Hi hi!

How lucky to come at the time of this local festival. I know what a charming small town this is and how they put everything into such an event. The olives and the food look just heavenly! I am glad you all had a great time!

I'm on school vacation this week, Tor, and THIS is the time of the year to do something special...so Astrid and I are now in Atlanta. This weekend we will be at a cabin in the North Georgia mountains with my kids and g'son. I love it. This is what Life is all about...family and friends.
